About Us

The Past

Frank Leone (Founder and Past President) established Ryan Associates in 1985, as an independent educational and consulting firm devoted to the development of hospital-affiliated and free standing occupational health programs (named after his son “Ryan”). Five years later, the National Association of Occupational Health Professionals (NAOHP) was developed in 1990, to provide a vehicle for educating, networking, and developing successful occupational health programs. Through the diligence and expertise of Frank and his team, this association soon became the “go to” organization across the country for professionals wanting to learn everything about occupational health

And...The Present

After 30+ years, Frank Leone “passed the baton” on to Tim & Cindy Ross, selling the business in May, 2016. While Frank will remain with NAOHP/Ryan Associates as Senior Advisor, Cindy Ross is now President, and Tim Ross is Senior V.P. & Executive Director of the organization. Both Tim & Cindy have a rich background in occupational health, each with over 20 + years of experience (at various levels of the business).
